I think one of her maternal grandparents had the surname Paulson as well? She posted this:

Elizabeth Beck is the same Elizabeth Marie Weston that I posted earlier, and Beck was her third (?) husband’s last name.

Thank you. I guess maybe her maternal grandmother had the surname Paulson?
I only know her mother had the last name Skog when she married Madchen’s step-father, but I think that is also a married name.
Her father’s birth record:

Mädchen’s paternal grandfather was Burton B. Amick (the son of William Alfred Amick and Rose Lillian Denney). Burton was obrn in Califronia. William was the son of William H. Amick and Matilda Phillips.

Man, I wish I was obrn in Califronia.
Her parents are Judy Higgs (nee Ross) and Bill Amick from the Bobby McGee band. She has a half-sister named Shelly Hutchins from her father’s side.
Is it possible this is her father? Or is he her step-father?
He’s neither a musician (he’s actually a physican), nor is he called Amick.

Yes, that’s her stepfather.
“Mädchen” actually is no name at all … It’s the German word for “girl”. How can her parents name her this way, when they are of German descent? Sonetimes parents are strange …
She was beautiful when she was on Twin Peaks.
Shelly Johnson …
